You should join us next time. Anyone who wants to chant and have fun is welcome!! Next game our section should be marked off so we have a lot of room.
We're discussing meeting somewhere close to the stadium for a late lunch for the next game around 3 or so, then tailgating until 6:15 when we'll enter the stadium.

To those that are interested: Laclede's Army will have a section for the Sol game. We try to keep it pretty clean due to there being kiddies everywhere so if you're bringing the 12 year old kid to the game, don't worry about sitting with us. Maybe if it was an MLS game, or pub league, more profanity would be there, but with 8 year old girls in the section next to you, even I tend to hold my tongue.
Anyway!! We are meeting around 11 in front of the stadium and then deciding on a place to go eat before the game.
We will be “tailgatingâ€

Below is from the St. Louigans - which is a merger or umbrella so to speak of all the former AC St. Louis supporters groups. This group is now heavily supporting the Lions among other local soccer activities.
Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve posted an article here. We can blame it on the alcohol or the fact that we’ve been so busy with the new season kicking off or that its just easier to post something on facebook, or we can be honest and just admit that I’m a bit lazy. Anyway I’m happy to report that the St. Louligans are alive and kicking and the 2011 St. Louis Lions season is underway and we’re having as much fun as ever. Today I’m not going to talk about the results or the table, I’m going to talk about fandom. Follow our facebook pages or twitter feeds and listen to our podcasts and you’ll get daily news on what’s happening with the team, but today a bigger issue needs addressing.
First, I want to say how happy I am to be a part of this group. I’ve met some great friends and had some of the best times watching live soccer with people that I didn’t even know a couple years ago. I have a lot of fun talking about “myâ€

Re: St. Louligans

A defender for Thunder Bay in the Premier Development League, Dillon took the field against the St. Louis Lions on June 30 with long, flowing hair reminiscent of a 1980’s rock star. Instantly, Dillon became the St. Louligans’ No. 1 target, and by the end of the first half, Dillon got to know what the Lions’ boisterous fan club was all about.
But chances are Dillon already knew about the St. Louligans, who have quickly gained a reputation around the PDL for their salty, witty, loud and loyal support for the Lions. For you Missouri Tigers fans, think of the Antlers on steroids.
“You’ll yell something funny and see the player turn around and smile,” St. Louligans co-founder Mitch Morice said. “Then you know you are getting into the player’s head. You don’t get that in the ALS or MLS.”
Lions goalkeeper Samuel Thomas said the St. Louligans definitely provide a home field advantage.
“One of the Kansas City goalkeepers mentioned to me that it’s hard to focus when you’ve got that much noise directed against you,” Thomas said. “When you are the home team and the other team is distracted in any way, shape or form, that’s a big help. I love to hear that.”
The St. Louligans diversify their taunts. Against Thunder Bay, aside from abusing Dillon the group also chanted “You’ve got health care.” Earlier this season against Real Colorado, a player named Luigi scored against the Lions, which prompted Super Mario Brothers-related barbs.
Last year, a Des Moines player had wild hair that reminded the St. Louligans of Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons. After a game filled with Simpsons-related taunts, the player had his picture taken with the St. Louligans.
“We had a kid from Brazil come up to us and say, ‘You guys are great, because you didn’t say anything about killing my mom or raping my sister,’” Morice said. “He got that back in Brazil.”
The St. Louligans pride themselves on taking the higher road -- for the most part. Morice said that while they occasionally have to be reminded about language from Lions owner and head coach Tony Glavin, they stay away from items such as race.
“We’re all about having fun responsibly,” Morice said. “We don’t want to give the perspective that we’re the hooligans stereotype, who are just drunken slobs who get into fights. We’re drunk slobs, but we don’t get into fights.”
But the St. Louligans are more than a rowdy cheering section -- they have become part of the Lions team.
One of the St. Louligans co-founders, Casey Blick lost his battle with stomach cancer on May 29. A couple of weeks before his death, Lions players wore warm-up t-shirts that they designed and bought themselves that said “4 U Casey.”
“Casey was one of the originals, one of the ring leaders for them,” Lions defenseman Alen Bradaric said. “The least thing we can do is to thank them for that. It’s just a little part of us to give to them, but they are a part of our team.”
Morice still gets choked up thinking about it.
“It just shows how great those guys are,” Morice said. “It was completely organized by Dean Lovegrove and Jonny Brown. … We made sure Casey’s family got a couple of those shirts, and he got one. He was on the downward slide by then, but his eyes lit up when he got that shirt. Just knowing that your childhood hero Tony Glavin, the 'pocket rocket,' is playing for you is awesome.”
Bradaric’s viewpoint about the St. Louligans being part of the Lions is not just lip service. The St. Louligans, who show up between 15 and 50 strong for the average game, are not only advertising for the Lions through their word of mouth and unique shirts, but the group has actually helped the team find sponsors.
The St. Louligans also are taking up the fight against cancer on Casey’s behalf with several fundraisers being planned.
“Cancer is the big one for us,” Morice said. “Everybody has been affected by cancer -- that’s life today.”
And with a larger purpose, the St. Louligans aren’t going anywhere. The group is 140 strong and growing. The group has a Web page, saintlouligans.com, and is active on Facebook.
Morice said newcomers are welcome. The St. Louligans have a pregame party that is open to everyone in the Pavilion on the way to the field at the Tony Glavin Complex before every Lions game, and they will certainly be there for the Lions’ final game of the season Sunday.
“We are all about having fun,” Morice said. “Come with us. All it takes it just one game.”
